The Interstate Commerce Bill.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
President at 5 O'Clock this after
noon affixed his signature to the
interstate commerce bill, TINS by
his approval making tt II law. His
approval was in iull accord With
the opinion of Attorney General
Garland, rendered to him on last
Monday, and it is very well under
stood to be in accord with the views
of the Cabinet.
The bill will go into effect in six
ty days. In making up the per-
sonnet of The commission it is un
derstood 10 be the purpose of the
President to move cautiously, and
to select men only whose antece :
dents are calculated to give it a
flir test. Tho President regards
the measures in a large degree ex-
permental, ard therefore wishes to
have the benefit OF the best ability
the country affords to carry its pro.
visions into operation. In a gen
eral way it is intimatcd that New
York and Pennsylvania, on account
of their extensive railroad inter-
ests, may have two of the commits
sionerships, two others going West
and one South.

The Coupon Complications.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. Tt is
understood that while the indem
nifyiDg board, in d letter addressed
to him a few days ago, did not ask
the Governor to call an extra Ses
sion in so many words, they rather
intimated their desire for him to
do so. 1t is no longera secret that
among other things suggested by
the board for relieving the State of
he embarrassment growing out of
the coupon litigation was the adop.
ton of II constitutional amendment
fixing the period in which the bond
holders might fund in new threes,
and forbidding future Legislatures
from making appropriations to pay
interest on any of the excluded
bonds. The idea was that reso.
luton to that effect might be NOV.
ed by the Legislature at the extra
session, concurred IN at the regular
session next winter, and submitted
to the people in 1855. Another
suggestion was to give the Govern
or power to remove coanty and city
treaSurerS who fail to carry out the
laws intended to restrict the receipt
of coupons for taxes. There was
some talk of charging the powers
Of the State indomnllying board in
their treatment Of the debt ques-
ton.

Virginia Coupon Acts.

February 2.-Jndge
Bond, sitting this afternoon as of
the United States District Court OF
Eastern Virginia, heard an inter
estiug habeas corpus case involv-
ing the constitutionality OF the
Virginia Coupon acts of 1885 ST.
The case was on I; petition Of Rich.
ard L. Fitzgerald, salesman for
Austin, Fields y Co., shoe dealers,
of Philadelphia. The firm on De-
cember 10th, 1856, deposited with
6. Greenhow, Treasurer of Rich
mond, s9Oin Virginia Coupons and
$l65 in money for the purpose Of
obtaining Il license to sell goods by
sample in Virginia. Fitzgerald Was
arrested in Newbern,, Pulaski coun-
ty, Va, January 25lh last on the
charge of selling goods without a
license, the treasurer having reius-
ed to accept the coupons i'll pay
ment OF the license, as lheacC states
Cllay coupons 80 Vucleu hi'ioo NC az
companied By the same value in
money, the money to be held by
the treasurer until the coupons are
ascertaintd to be genuine.
Judge Bond discharged Fitzger-
aid, and in giving his opinion said
that the acts Of 1855 and 1886 con-
stitute ore law, though passed at
different times, anu that they are
constitutional, as they impair the
Coupon act, which provides that
coupons shall be received for all
State dues and taxes. Virginia,
Judge Bond says, has made the
coupons as much a legal tender as
the greenback, and party offering
them could not be called upon to
prove their genuintness by the de.
posit OF collateral. Attorney Gen
eral Ayres, of Richmond, who rep
resented the State of Virginia,
asked for an appeal, which was
granted.
